Fish and Chips will never go out of fashion - at least you'd hope not, as a good cod and chips should always be one's most guiltiest of pleasures. There are some great chippies all across the capital but there are also plenty of impressive versions at restaurants too, so have a gander and start to look forward to Friday even more.

This Hammersmith fish and chips restaurant is like a throwback to days of yore - with a modern twist, if that's not too confusing. It's ridiculously charming but the fish and chips on offer are of the highest order, with twice-cooked chips, handmade batter and sustainable, fresh-as-a-daisy fish.

Setting up shop on the same road as The Fryer's Delight shows that Alen and his fine crew are confident in their fish and chips. And as well they might be - it's the equal of The Fryer's Delight and you don't get half the queues. So try and keep it quiet, please?

This opened up practically next door to us when we had offices in Spitalfields, so we were simultaneously hit with chip shop aromas and huge queues of trendies - we didn't realise they liked fish and chips. Anyway, the queues were there for a reason - this place serves up just about the cleanest fish and chips in London and the staff are lovely.

Fish and chips done Notting Hill style. This is a little posher than your usual offering but it is worth spending that little bit more. The fish is fresh and the batter so beautifully light it comes with its own tether. There's one in Chelsea too.

A fish and chip shop this good in Soho might surprise some but this place attracts fans in their droves and still keeps the quality up. You might have once known it as simply 'The Chippy', but the name change hasn't altered the skill at the fryer - or indeed the huge portion sizes.

Not just a fish and chippie, but a 'fish experience', this longstanding venue remains a massive hit with the people of Herne Hill - and beyond, if the Friday night queues are anything to go by. Bit of a trek for many, but a trek worth making.

You can either dine in at the restaurant or grab your takeaway fish and chips from their little spot next door. The fish is incredibly fresh (all from Billingsgate) and incredibly well battered, and there are plenty of alternatives if you're not up for a bit of grease.

This Stokie newcomer serves up some of the best fish and chips in London, having taken over from the Fishery Fish Bar, which itself was pretty good. This one's definitely amongst the new breed of 'posh' chippies, but a bit of battered cod here is as good as anywhere.
